So we know Siri is just about the coolest thing this year in mobile technology, but though still limited by its creation, there are companies out there looking to expand on Siri's usefulness. Queue ThinkGeek.
When Apple released its latest and most changed version of iOS two weeks ago, bringing us up to version number 5.0, there was little-to-no doubt that the update would be considerable. If there is one thing that the iOS eco-system has over its Android competition, it's the fact that users tend to update their handsets and tablets to the latest version of iOS.
Nokia is still hard at work with Nokia Maps; said to be one of the best features on their own devices. They have now ventured out to bring Nokia Maps to all Android and iOS touting devices out there in the market.
We all hoped to see a LTE iPhone 5 earlier this month when the iPhone 4S was released. The best we got was "4G-like speeds" on AT&T with the update to a HSDPA antenna. Well, sources say we should expect to see what we've been asking for in 2012!
The launch of Apple's iPhone 4S has seen sales reach dizzy new heights, with 4 million units sold in its first three days, and some reckoning sales of 16 per second as the world becomes gripped by the latest strain of iPhone fever.
Want to order an Apple product from the convenience of your couch or home and pick it up in-store? Well, there will be an app for that sooner than you think.
We love iOS 5 here at Redmond Pie, and one of its top additions to an ageing mobile operating system is Notification Center, Apple's new home for all the messages and push notifications we all receive.
I’m sure readers of Redmond Pie already know about Find My Friends. It’s a location tracking app developed by Apple which was released on October 12th alongside iOS 5. I don’t know if it is fair to say this, but Find My Friends is definitely Apple’s version of Google Latitude - an imitation, essentially, of a similar service which all Android smartphones have been offering since 2009. It feels rather odd seeing an innovative company like Apple doing the copying (especially after calling 2011 “Year of the Copycats” in March). The copying done here, though, is not your regular half-hearted stuff: Apple has added some nifty features which sets their location-tracking tool apart from Google Latitude.
While Apple is admittedly adding new features, and tweaking old ones as it goes about its business of bumping the old iOS revision numbers, there are still one or two things that are AWOL.
Hello there, everyone! It’s time to do another post in our series of comparison posts in which, well, we compare stuff. In this comparison post, ‘stuff’ is the three major mobile operating systems - iOS 5, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Windows Phone 7.5 Mango - and it is their feature-list which is compared.
